I took my time getting the sizing right and they fit perfectly. Very roomy, which is a style tbat I like. They are extremely well made, my wife is a seamstress and she is is very impressed with the quality of sewing.
Love these trousers - really nice cut and quality. They do come up slightly bigger so just be aware
They came more promptly than I thought they would and the comms from Olderbest keeping me update were really good.
Can't fault the service or the product!
Excellent pair of trousers, the material is just what I was looking for- substantial but not stiff. I also appreciate the email exchanges to confirm the correct size.
Great trousers, superb comfort and freedom of movement. Really stylish too. Very well made. Fabric feels like it will wear well for a long time. It's taken me a long time to find a pair of trousers as comfy as these!
The traditional makes these very comfortable. They sit well on the waist unlike a lot of more modern cuts which for me tend to be too tight in the groin and fall down at the waist. They're made of durable material too. Have been looking for trousers like this for ages. Great product.
Bought a beige pair in size 10 first, love them as a baggy fit, so a month later bought the green too in size 8. They arrived yesterday and just as good. Be prepared for the delay in shipping but there's constant updates.
All in all very happy. Thank you!
Absolutely love them . They fit perfectly!
I will definitely be ordering more items in the future . Hopefully next payday which is next week .
They were also packaged to an excellent standard .
I’m a very happy customer.
Great quality material and cool style. These pants are highly recommended for those who are bored with standard pants. The built in belts are highly unique.
Awesome pants, great quailty!
I'm a size 34/86cm waist and bought the size 8. They fit perfectly and I do them up on the lower end of the holes.
I really don't think Mr. Phoenix is a true 34 but a fashion 34 which is usually more towards the size 36+
Always use true measurements when buying online!
Great Pants
Pants are awesome, like description and photos.
Maybe I should have bought a size more, I usually wear a W34 and I can wear the size 8, that I purchased, at the largest position, using the last holes available.
I hope I won't gain weight in the future!
However, we are talking about a beautiful replica of a historical garment, well made and of quality.
I will purchase again form this guys!
